Chapter 515: Warning everyone, Minato

Kushina and the others looked at each other, all of them stunned.

Yes.

They never expected Minato Namikaze to be so serious.

But, at the same time.

Everyone knew Minato's temper; since he was acting like this now, it naturally proved that what he was about to say would be unimaginably important.

"Mm, I understand." Kushina looked solemn. "I will listen very carefully."

Kakashi and the others didn't speak.

But they nodded, and their small faces also began to turn serious.

Minato Namikaze nodded.

Seeing everyone becoming serious, he spoke with a helpless expression.

"Where should I start?"

"Forget it, let's answer Kushina's question first."

"The reason the Hokage didn't pursue this matter is entirely because I, Minato Namikaze, am the definite future Fourth Hokage."

"After this war ends, Hiruzen Sarutobi will step down, and I will be the Fourth Hokage."

"Although it hasn't gone through the Jonin class vote yet, I can confirm it now."

"As for the reason, Kushina, you know it too."

"Recall what you found out from the Nine-Tails that night."

"Hiruzen Sarutobi doesn't want to fall out with me, and even hopes to resolve the rift between us, so regarding tonight's incident, he naturally wouldn't choose to pursue it too much."

"Your past experiences, Kushina, were entirely due to our low status."

"The village's rules are only used to constrain those below."

"For powerful ninja clans and the village's high-level officials, those rules have no effect at all."

"That is the reason!"

Minato Namikaze spoke with conviction.

He was not stupid.

Before, it was just that the Will of Fire was too beautiful, and Hiruzen Sarutobi's performance was good enough, making his thoughts too naive, and he simply hadn't thought in this direction.

In fact, he was very smart.

In the original work, this was actually demonstrated.

After the Fourth Ninja War, when Minato Namikaze was about to return to the Pure Land, Naruto Uzumaki asked him how to achieve true peace.

At that time, Minato Namikaze had said that as long as the ninja system existed, true peace could not be achieved.

At that time, Minato spoke very cryptically.

Perhaps considering he didn't want to discourage the naive Naruto, he only used hatred and resentment to explain, but in reality, perhaps Minato Namikaze at that time had already truly understood everything.

After all, at that time, he had already truly served as the Fourth Hokage.

And had experienced Hiruzen Sarutobi's various restrictions on him...

However.

Considering his child would still have to live in Konoha, letting him know too much wasn't a good thing.

Perhaps being a bit naive and simple, with Naruto's strength at the time, he could live a happy life.

Conversely.

If he knew too much, he would either suffer for a lifetime or be an enemy of the whole world.

And with Naruto's personality, he couldn't do that.

So.

From this point, it was enough to show that Minato Namikaze himself was very smart.

And on this timeline, Jin Uchiha had broken through early, directly shattering his worldview.

Therefore, with Minato's intelligence, figuring these things out naturally wasn't a big deal.

But, on the other side.

Following Minato's words, everyone present was stunned.

Yes.

They never expected to get such a cold answer.

It wasn't anything else, it was power!

This was also what they least wanted to hear.

So everyone fell silent.

If these words had come from Jin Uchiha, they might not have been too surprised.

But...

The person saying this now was Minato Namikaze, their teacher!

"Minato, you..." Kushina looked bitter. "Why say this?"
